Who here is waiting on the EVO v2 with a keyboard and better specs?

[tokuzumi]

While it would be nice to have a pimped out keyboard, like the TP2, I think the bulkiness of the device would turn a lot of people off. I'm sure HTC could come up with something that is slim, like the Droid, but without that stupidly huge d-pad that takes up a 1/4 of the real estate.

Since I'm used to the software keyboard on my hero, the EVO will only be that much better for me. I just hope the stock keyboard is multi-touch...the hero keyboard isn't

You will need HTC to make a new line of smartphones that has a landscape KB, senseUI and 4G.... And it looks like its isnt even in their playbook just yet so you will be waiting for a good while...

why Not get the EVO now (YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO) and get this other device when it arrives?

lol, wow you guys are really arguing over the internet about the name of a phone thats not even out yet

I'm might just wait for the HD3. It's just amazing how these phones are evolving this year. You have to be rich to keep up and believe me I'm trying. I've spent too much in the past year on my habit.

TP - 350
TP2 - 600
HD2 - 450
EVO - ?
HD3 - ?

All of these in little over a year. My fiancee is getting fed up! HTC is going to break up my family.

It will be curious to see what Google decides to name this thing, whether it be Nexus 2, Nexus Pro, Nexus ^2 (squared).....on a tangent, I like Nexus Squared. The Nexus One has almost become a brand name. If/When Google makes a successor to the N1 (keyboard-less, candy bar device...I would consider a Google phone with a keyboard to be a separate phone, altogether), will they change the name to something other than Nexus One?

Interesting info about the Nexus 2, Nexus Enterprise, or whatever the heck the name will be. I'm figuring the phone won't be out for quite some time and there's no telling for sure that'll be avaiable on Sprint. I'm jumping on the EVO bandwagon for sure. If something else comes out that I might like better in the long run, I'll upgrade again in a year.

I was curious on the ratio of keyboard/non-keyboard android devices, so I did a little digging. I tried to remove phones from this list (source Droid Dog: http://www.droiddog.com/android-blog...d-device-list/) that were either killed off, or have not been released yet (such as evo, legend, desire, etc), but if I made an error here, please correct. These are available right now, but not limited to the US.

Acer Liquid A1 - No keyboard
Acer Liquid E - No keyboard
Alcatel OT-980 - keyboard
Dell Ophone mini3i - No keyboard
Gigabyte GSmart - No keyboard
Google / HTC Nexus One - No keyboard
HTC Desire / Bravo / Passion / Dragon - No keyboard
HTC Dream / T-Mobile G1 with Google - Keyboard
HTC Eris (Verizon’s Hero) - No keyboard
HTC Hero / G2 Touch - No keyboard
HTC Magic / T-Mobile myTouch 3G with Google / Ion / Sapphire - No keyboard
HTC Tattoo / Click / Fiesta - No keyboard
Huawei T-Mobile Pulse Mini - No keyboard
Motorola Android Quench / Cliq XT / Zepplin - No keyboard
Motorola Backflip - Keyboard
Motorola Droid / Sholes / Tao / A855 - Keyboard
Motorola i1 / Opus One - No keyboard
Motorola Morrison / Cliq / Dext - Keyboard
Motorola MOTOROI / XT720 - No keyboard
Motorola MT710 - No keyboard
Samsung Behold II - No keyboard
Samsung Galaxy / i7500 - No keyboard
Samsung Moment - Keyboard
Samsung SHW-M100S - No keyboard
Sony Ericsson XPERIA X3 / X10 / Infinity - Keyboard

In summary,
18 without keyboards (17, if you combine the Eris with the Hero, which would be reasonable)
7 with keyboards

man either way you look at it qwerty will soon be a thing of the past. They'll probably put out like 1 phone with a qwerty just to suffice those that just have to have it... but companies are looking at the fact that the iphone is the best selling phone period without one and are following suit.

rofl this guy is always good for a laugh if nothing else

Well we're only concerned with phones available in the USA. The only reason it was brought up was because p-slim said if we wanted a keyboard we would have to settle for a device someone tells us to use, and there were twice as many non keyboards as keyboard devices being offered by the carriers (and he specifically listed Sprint, Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile). I just pointed out that it was wrong, and there are plenty of choices for those of us that want a keyboard- even more than non keyboards.

I'll be the first to admit I have no idea what's available in North Korea or wherever. But as far as right here in the USA, there are plenty of keyboard choices if you look at other companies besides HTC.
